Wide Awake Details

Before writing and directing the smash hit The Sixth Sense, M Night Shyamalan made this film about a Catholic schoolboy who starts to question his faith after his grandfather dies, and devotes a whole school year to reassuring himself that grandad is spending eternity in good hands. Starring Joseph Cross, with Robert Loggia, Dana Delany, Denis Leary and Rosie O'Donnell among the supports, the film is intriguing enough, but is a little let down by a sugary script.
